Default Professor's Nightmare

The Effect
This is also called My Favorite Rope Trick for very good reasons. Three pieces of rope are shown. All three pieces are different lengths. The magician then picks them up and then they all become the same length. Then the magician can return them to their different sizes. Professor’s Nightmare is one of the all time best selling rope effects. Easy to do!

Cost
$3.95

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

Review
Professor's Nightmare has been around a long time, and it's still one of my favorite tricks. It has potential for patter in all aspects of magic - kids, gospel, comedy, whaever. You can do the trick without the package for sure, and unless you want the pretty rope that comes in this kit - I'd buy 42 Amazing Tricks & Stunts with Rope instead. It has Professor's Nightmare along with many others.


Overall
4 out of 5
